Unifi UDM Pro

[NM2026]

Hi,

 

Has anyone installed a UniFi Dream Machine Pro on a school network where the internet connection is provided by LGfL?

 

If so, I’d be interested to hear about your setup and any issues or considerations you came across.

Many thanks,
Simon

I'm in the process of setting these up.

 

I've not got the site manager to work yet. I think that's getting blocked by the web filter and/or a firewall rule.

 

Installing apps such as protect is also blocked by default on the web filter, but can be unblocked.

 

As its a router/gateway, you will need to setup a stub network with LGFL for the outbound interface. It won't let you have the public interface on the same subnet as used internally. If you can't do that, or can't do that yet, it can work as a console for Unifi switches/Wi-Fi if you connect one of the internal interfaces to the LGFL router.

 

You will also want to turn off NAT or else everything on schoolprotect will show as coming from the same IP with the same policy.

We have it working here but depending on your use case i would not do it again - its just an additional overhead.
We have had it for a few years now.
